Chapter 214 Make Way
The drunken gaffe by a disciple of the Dean's Office had a huge impact. The lakeside, the corridors, and the men's and women's dormitories were all talking about it.
In fact, everyone is more or less aware of the unfairness of resources among the immortal sects, and it is nothing new.
The main topic of discussion was how terrifying Ji You's fighting power was, and they only mentioned in passing how the Elders' Pavilion was paving the way for their virtuous grandson.
But as more people join in the discussion, the noise can still be embarrassing.
This was equivalent to the Elders' Pavilion shooting itself in the foot. Not only did it fail to stop Ji You, but it also lost face.
It is said that Elder Fang was completely defeated that night, he smashed many porcelain cups, and his face was as gloomy as water.
At this time, a handsome man who was in charge of the office had not slept all night. He lay flat on his back on the bed, clutching the quilt with both hands, his eyes as big as bells, his heart beating fast and full of regret.
Alcohol is really not a good thing.
He had long known that he had a habit of telling the truth after drinking, and he should have paid more attention to it.
After a night of worry, he received a letter of dismissal from the Office of the President on the next day, and his heart finally settled down.
This is not because of pressure from the Elders' Council, but mainly because the Council of Executive Directors is responsible for many matters, some of which require confidentiality.
The Office of Administration would not dare to employ people like this who cannot keep their mouth shut.
Because as the clan affairs agency, the Office of Chief Affairs is the last one to see anyone making trouble.
Afterwards, the news spread to Shengjing City, and many people talked about it in taverns and teahouses, and even people in the Sixian Supervisor started talking about it.
"The top spot in the Tongxuan realm, Tianshu Academy might have a chance to get one this year."
"That Ji You is really too scary to talk about."
Because the Lingshi route was changed to the Fengzhou route, Si Xianjian was quite familiar with Ji You and had a good impression of him.
The Great Xia Dynasty was a tool used by the seven great immortal sects to rule the people, and officials in the court had also seen many immortal cultivators over the years.
But this was the first time they had seen someone who could force the elders of the Immortal Sect to bow their heads.
Ji You found out later than others. It was not until noon of the next day that he understood the whole story.
"Brother Zhishen..."
“What a pity.”
He was not familiar with Lu Da, and when he heard the name, his mind was filled with the image of the monk pulling out a weeping willow tree.
But I heard from others that this person has been following Elder Fang since he was a child. He has been serving tea and water for more than ten years and is very well-behaved.
But even though they are so well-behaved, they still have to give way to the younger generations and grandchildren of the elders.
This is the rule of Qingyun Tianxia. Talent and effort are not considered, and the distinction between insiders and outsiders is clear.
Grandchildren are always closer to you than outsiders. This is a truth that even peddlers and hawkers know.
So in this world, you should never take anything given by a stranger.
Because once you stretch out your hand, you will be controlled by others.
When Ji You went to Fengzhou Prefecture to establish a family, before he drew his sword, those foreign immortal villas generously gave up 20%, but Ji You refused for this reason.
It’s boring to take, it’s fun to grab.
Because the consequences of things that are stolen are always smaller than those of things that are given.
Later, the elders of the Inner Court refused to allow him to enter the Five Great Halls because he acted too decisively. This was seen by others as a severe suppression that almost ruined his future.
But it was also because of this that he avoided this cause and effect and was able to draw his sword in the Tiandao Association pre-selection.
Otherwise, he would most likely have to give way to his grandchildren.
If you don't give in, you will be considered an ungrateful person and people will ask you if you have ever thought about who gave you everything you have today. You won't be as free as you are now with a sword.
For thousands of years, the immortal sects and aristocratic families have been accustomed to this style of doing things.
So if an unexpected event like the one happening to them happens, they will fly into a rage.
"No wonder the money sent by Qionghua Pavilion today was obviously less..."
"The robe that can be cut by a master of the Tongxuan realm is probably considered unworthy of its reputation, but it's not that the robe is too weak..."
Ji You counted the silver bills in the envelope, muttering to himself in the morning light, thinking that this time of selling goods was not particularly successful.
He controlled the force when he cut through the sword robe, with the intention of giving the Elders' Pavilion a headache. He thought that with the Elders' Pavilion's behavior, they would definitely not tell the matter to others.
I didn't expect that there would be a great scholar to debate for him...
At this time, the sun is scorching.
Without Ji You to suppress the situation, the battle in Tongxuan Realm could continue.
The result was naturally as expected, the first spot was immediately taken by Wang Gaocen, the virtuous grandson of the old cabinet.
Having obtained the quota, Ji You no longer paid excessive attention to the subsequent battle. Instead, he went to the sword forest like an idle person and watched Second Miss Lu practicing sword skills while lying underneath.
Lu Hanyan has already gathered the eighth ray of mysterious light and is only one step away from the Tongxuan realm. The mysterious aura around her is gradually emerging.
She has a slender figure, and with the aura of the fifth realm, she looks even more charming.
Since entering the academy, there have been many male students around Miss Lu who want to ask her out. Recently, there are even more of them. Even some men from the inner courtyard often talk to her, but she ignores them all.
On the contrary, when Ji You was staring at her to learn swordplay, Miss Lu's eyes clearly showed a desire to "rush the master"...
At this time, the third battle of Rong Dao Realm had begun.
Chai Ze came on the field and won three games in a row.
Ji You originally wanted to watch the third battle, but just after he finished washing up, he received a message from Wen Siyuan. Instructor Cao said that Fairy Zhengxin had broken through and came out of seclusion, and invited him to the courtyard for a chat.
Ji You wiped her face dry, tied her hair crown, and walked down the mountain.
However, on the way down the mountain, he met a duangduang figure.
He Lingxiu also broke through and came out of seclusion, the aura of the upper realm of Rong Dao was extremely mysterious.
At that time, she was coming down from Zizai Palace and met Ji You at the intersection in front of Zizhu Zen Forest.
"Long time no see, Senior Sister He."
"Long time no see. I never thought that the person I would meet after coming out of retreat would be Junior Brother Ji. What a coincidence."
He Lingxiu smiled and said, "By the way, did you get the place for the Taoist meeting?"
She had been in seclusion for a long time, spending the entire summer there, and was still not aware of news from the outside world.
However, in her opinion, with Ji You's strength, it is not difficult to get a place in the academy. After all, in her heart, Ji You is the strongest among all the Tongxuan realm in Tianshu Academy.
After hearing her question, Ji You nodded: "It was a close call, I guess I got it."
"As expected, with your talent, it's not surprising that you can get a spot in the Tiandao Association. But this is just the beginning. The preliminaries are just the appetizer for the Tiandao Association. Your goal should be to be the top of this year's list."
"Just do your best. I dare not say anything about something that hasn't even started yet. It would be embarrassing if I lose."
"It's good to have this mentality, but in my opinion, Junior Brother will definitely have no problem getting into the top ten."
"Thank you for your kind words, Senior Sister."
He Lingxiu chatted with Ji You for a while, then said goodbye to him and went to the tea pavilion in the Zizhu Zen Forest.
Shi Junhao and Xiao Hanyan had heard the news a long time ago, and when they saw He Lingxiu coming, they immediately stood up and congratulated her.
In addition, there are several virtuous grandchildren of the Elders' Pavilion, including Wang Gaocen who has already obtained a place, Yu Shiliu who is defending the title, as well as Pan Bin and Gu Zetao.
He Lingxiu returned the greetings to the others, and then asked, "How far has the Fusion Dao Realm qualification competition progressed?"
"Junior Brother Chai Ze is defending the ring. He has already fought three matches. He will get a spot in two more matches, and then it will be your turn."
He Lingxiu nodded after hearing this. She had calculated the time before she went into seclusion so that she could catch up when she came out. Now it seems that she is a little faster.
He Lingxiu picked up the teacup and thought for a long time before speaking: "How is the progress in Tongxuan Realm?"
Xiao Hanyan looked at the junior brothers and sisters in the Tongxuan realm next to him and said, "Junior brothers Ji You and Wang have already got the quota, and Junior sister Yu is currently defending the ring. It shouldn't be a big problem. Maybe we will be the ones to compete this year."
"I just ran into Junior Brother Ji on my way out of the temple. The result was exactly as I expected. No one could stop him. I even told him that I wanted to get the top spot for Tianshu Academy, but he was quite cautious and even said it was hard to say."
Xiao Hanyan was silent for a moment after hearing this: "This may be a little different from what Junior Sister expected."
He Lingxiu raised her eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "What's the difference? Didn't Ji You get the quota?"
"Ji You was the first to defend the ring, but was asked by the Elders' Pavilion not to use the Spirit Sword Mountain Sword Technique. They said that the disciples who participated in the Tiandao Conference were all representing the Tianshu Academy and could not help boost the reputation of other sects."
He Lingxiu opened her mouth and asked, "Did he agree?"
Xiao Hanyan nodded: "I agreed, and then everyone in the courtyard said he was a toothless tiger."
He Lingxiu pondered for a while before speaking: "In the end, he still won five games, right? He really can surprise people."
Xiao Hanyan's expression suddenly became much more complicated: "He didn't play five games, only two. In the next three games, his opponent admitted defeat as soon as he got on stage."
"?"
"I don't know what to say. Anyway, Junior Sister He also understands that his combat power has always been higher than his existing realm. It was the same in the wilderness. But no one expected that he would be so strong without the swordsmanship of Lingjian Mountain. There is a kind of robe in Qionghua Pavilion. Junior Sister, do you know it? It can block the attack of Rongdao Realm. Ji You's opponent wore one, but it was cut in half."
He Lingxiu listened carefully at first and couldn't help nodding, but as she listened, she couldn't help but open her mouth and didn't say anything for a long time. She only remembered Ji You's humble look.
Next to He Lingxiu, the elders and grandchildren fell silent, as if they didn't like hearing this person's name or his affairs.
At this time, Ji You had already started down the mountain. Halfway down, he heard the echo of magic from the White Jade Platform of Ascension.
Wen Zhengxin had just passed the test this morning and had already heard from Instructor Cao what had happened in the past few days. When he saw Ji You coming in from the door, he couldn't help but look at him as if he were a monster.
She returned to her own courtyard after breaking through the barrier in the early morning, and then saw a letter from home.
The letter came from her family, asking about her relationship with Ji You, and vaguely mentioned whether the story of his physique being passed down through the generations was true. There was a hint of compromise in the words.
She didn't understand at the time, and thought that her parents were really good at matching people up, as that guy was my junior fellow apprentice.
Besides, with the daughter of Danzong around, everyone would have to be a subordinate, but she has been determined since she was a child to never be a subordinate.
So she didn't take it seriously. She saw the message from Instructor Cao saying that Pei Ruyi had arrived and asked her to meet at the Bishui Lake, so she hurried over. After arriving, she learned from Cao Jinsong that Ji You had obtained the quota.
Without the sword art of Lingjian Mountain, the four swordsmen were defeated by two people of the same level, forcing the Elders' Pavilion to be helpless and had to send three useless disciples to admit defeat.
This news is actually hard to believe without seeing it.
This made Wen Zhengxin feel that when he changed Junior Brother Ji's clothes, he should have left something in his stomach when he was least prepared. After all, the cultivation talent of their Wen family was declining with each generation.
Ji You didn't know Fairy Zhengxin's intention to transform into Juicer, so he looked at Wen Zhengxin and said, "I ran into Senior Sister He on the way here. Is Senior Sister Wen planning to challenge the challenge?"
"I have to try. Otherwise I won't be satisfied. However, the chances of winning are probably not high. I know that myself."
"Sister, why are you scared before the battle?"
"After He Lingxiu became the direct disciple, the resources we have access to have changed. After so long, I'm afraid the gap in strength has widened."
Although Fairy Zhengxin was born in a small family in Zhongzhou, she has always been very talented, otherwise she would not be qualified to compete with He Lingxiu for the palace master's personal disciple.
What she experienced was actually similar to what happened when Ruda withdrew from the competition.
Therefore, Fairy Zhengxin has always wanted to have a real fight with He Lingxiu, regardless of winning or losing, to resolve the knot in her heart.
After hearing this, Ji You began to look at Fairy Zhengxin carefully, feeling her aura, and comparing it with the aura he felt from He Lingxiu when they met by chance before.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that what his senior sister said was right.
There is indeed a big gap between the two people. It has nothing to do with talent or diligence. Some things are limited from the moment they are born.
"It's a pity that I'm a little late, otherwise I could learn some swordsmanship from my junior brother and improve my chances of winning."
Ji You pursed his lips: "Senior sister, you are joking. Even if you dare to learn, I dare not teach you..."
Wen Zhengxin frowned when he heard the voice: "Why don't you dare to teach? Miss Lu has been taught very well by you, just treat me as her."
"My teaching method may make Senior Sister fight with me..."
"?"
Ji You waved her hand: "Senior Sister, prepare well, maybe you will have a chance of winning."
Wen Zhengxin looked at Ji You at this time: "Not everyone in this world is like you, a monster. I really want to see the expressions on your faces when the immortal sects gather and the noble families come and see you draw your sword. It must be very interesting."
"Thank you for your compliment, Senior Sister."
"If you lose, will you treat me to a meal?"
Ji You looked at Cao Jinsong and said, "But Instructor Cao has no money these days."
Cao Jinsong looked at him and his beard couldn't help but tremble twice: "Don't come on, why do you need to use my money to treat me to a meal?"
"Where's Senior Brother Ban?"
"Brother, please pay some of your own money. You clearly made so much money from selling the robes before."
